Critical care is the moment when time, physiology, and decisions collide—and the margin for error is thin. It’s not defined by an ICU bed; it’s defined by the need for emergent care to prevent or treat life-threatening illness.
REBEL Crit exists to help clinicians deliver the best possible care to the sickest patients. We critically appraise the latest literature, translate findings into bedside practice, and publish review articles on complex topics designed for busy providers.
According to a 2012 meta-analysis difficult and failed intubations in the operating room occur 1.8 – 5.8% and 0.13 – 0.30% of the time respectively. Emergent intubation, outside of this environment (i.e emergency department, ICU, and medical ward) is typically ...
In the United States, trauma is the leading cause of death among patients between the ages of 1 and 44 years of age and the third leading cause of death overall. Approximately 20 to 40% of trauma deaths occur after ...
Please welcome a new development in critical care publishing with the launch of a new open access critical care journal: CRITICAL CARE HORIZONS!!! This will be a fresh, new, original voice in the critical care literature, offering thought provoking, ...
Abnormal vital signs are poor predictors of mortality associated with pulmonary embolism (PE). Diagnosis of PE and right ventricular (RV) strain with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) however, has been well documented as a predictor for pending shock and significant in-hospital mortality. ...
Preoxygenation and apneic oxygenation are key in emergency airway management, prevention of desaturation, and very important to patient safety. One of the best papers I have ever read on this was written by Scott D. Weingart (@emcrit) and Richard M. ...
This year I was fortunate enough to attend the Social Media And Critical Care (SMACC) conference from Mar 19th – 21st, 2014 at the Gold Coast Australia, also known as SMACCGOLD. SMACC is a modern, academic meeting, mixed with on-line ...
Critical illness is a life-threatening multisystem process that can result in significant morbidity and mortality. Timely, appropriate, and effective care for these patients is something all emergency physicians strive for. Using data from clinical trials of previous years, we can improve patient management ...
The goal of resuscitation in cardiac arrest is to respond in a timely, effective manner that leads to good patient outcomes. Resuscitation is not taking an ACLS and BLS course and going through the motions of a code. There have ...
Pauses in chest compressions are known to be detrimental to survival in cardiac arrest, so much so that the 2010 American Heart Association (AHA) emphasize high-quality compressions while minimizing interruptions. There have been some studies that now advocate for continuous ...
